Open source. :-)
Same reason we all trade code -- the code may work great for us As-is.
Or to be the basis for one's own hack.

I'm not sure what people keep meaning by "private". I am talking about
the position that that they contain assumptions needed by /usr/src.
bsd.port.mk certainly assumes the needs of FreeBSD's /usr/ports. It
cannot be reused by anyone else w/o tweaks. It was only moved to
/usr/ports/Mk because it is the easiest way to keep it in-sync with the
rest of /usr/ports.

Not pointless. A required first step, if we decided we do want to move
the change the Makefiles.
